[PSN - BBCSE] UNLIMITED TEAM TOURNEY THE FIRST (SUNDAY, MAY 5TH, 5:00PM (17:00) EST)

[Cirno]

ALRIGHT, so. Always hearing "why isn't there more unl tourneys??" and "why aren't there more team tourneys??" so I'm aiming to fill both plates at once.

This is sort of important and I'm going to make it a big deal, because I think it is a good idea. Okay. So. Ever play a match against someone a state away and it felt worse than that time you played a european dude? I know I have. So I'm gonna /enforce/ this shit.

GO TO

WWW.SPEEDTEST.NET AND WWW.PINGTEST.NET

HIT THE NICE BIG "BEGIN TEST" BUTTONS TO RUN TESTS ON YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION.

POST THE RESULTS IN YOUR ENTRY.

This tourney will primarily be EST/CST. If you're not EST/CST but have a strong connection and can /back it up/ with speed/pingtest, then I encourage you to do so! I'm doing this mainly to allow as many people to play as possible with as little frustration as possible. If you're EST/CST, you're still subject to a speed/pingtest, naturally. Everyone should have a chance to have fun!

For Reference, I've taken both tests. Your speed/pingtests will look something like these, respectively:

(if your scores arent quite that good, don't feel discouraged. my internet isnt normal lol)

It only takes like a minute and it solves a lot of potential problems down the road. I seriously think this should be a standard for netplay tourneys. Or netplay anything, probably. As I'm sure you all know, BB's connection numbers can be very deceiving at times.

Alright then. This is a free entry netplay tourney with, thanks to Hellknight10 and xntrikcat, a 25/10/5 payout!

(preemptive thanks for some of the format from Hellknight10's thread, lol)

General Information:

-Please try to get on a bit earlier than the starting time!

-Player Limit: 8 or 16, depending on amount of entrants

-Teams, 2v2, Waseda-style

*If you can't find a partner, sign up anyway. You'll be randomly matched to another single entry member.

-Single elim, single waseda match

-2 out of 3 rounds

-Character locked (In the event you win but your partner loses, your second match will be locked to the character you won with)

* For those that don't know, in Waseda-style both teams choose a player from their team to go first. Then both of the second players fight regardless of the outcome. If one team wins both times, the match is over. If one from both teams win, then both winners fight eachother in the third round. It could be a little complicated so here's a couple examples:

Ex: Team A (SKD, BananaKen) vs Team B (Leonil, DC)

First Match: SKD vs Leonil, SKD wins

Second Match: DC vs BananaKen, DC wins because BananaKen can't play, he's just a stickcaddy

Third Match: SKD vs DC, SKD wins

Team A advances.

Ex2: Team A (spirit juice, SKD) vs Team B (brkrdv, ZomB)

First Match: SKD vs brkrdv, SKD wins

Second Match: spirit juice vs ZomB, spirit juice wins

Team A advances.

Tournament Rules:

-2 out of 3 round matches as stated above (the in-game setting for this is 2)

-Please don't skip the intro.

-Unlimiteds only, Stylish Mode OK

-Grand Finals will be 2 out of 3 waseda matches.

Room Hosting/Match Recording:

-Either Kurushii or I will host a room that you, your partner, and your opponents will be invited to player rooms by. Once everyone is invited, both team's first players will start their match. Please decide team order promptly.

-Kurushii will be also be streaming the matches. His twitch.tv channel is located here.

-Be there ON TIME. If you are your team member is not on time, you or they may be disqualified.

* If you would like to be a backup room hoster/streamer, let me know!

Disconnect/Connection Problem Rules:

-Disconnecting forfeits that Round, start up another match and get the rounds to go back to how they were originally and then the "disconnectee" must let the other person win whatever round was at the point when it disconnected.

Ex. Player A wins Round 1, Player B disconnects during Round 2. Match point is given to Player A since it's a 2/3. Ex2: Player A wins Round 1, but disconnects on Round 2. Match is replayed, Player A gets Round 1 back, and Player B is given Round 2 since Player A disconnected. Ex3: Player A disconnects on the first round. Match is replayed with Player B getting the first round.

-If the same person disconnects more than once, they forfeit the match.

-If the person doesn't sign back on within 5 minutes they forfeit that match. If their partner goes 2-0, the team will advance regardless.

-In the case of a repeat offender, they may be disqualified from the tourney, and their partner must either quickly find a backup or be disqualified themselves.

-Please don't complain about lag, I've asked everyone to complete a speed/pingtest for this reason.

Communication:

-Please don't use a mic.

-I'll be making a Text Chat Room for the tournament.

-Please do not talk a lot on the PSN chat, only discuss your match ie. giving me results.

-Feel free to leave the PSN chat once you and your opponent are matched up, but make sure you come back afterward.

Tips on Avoiding Lag:

-Use a wired connection if available.

-Do not skip the intro.

-Do not use a mic.

-Leave the Text Chat BEFORE starting your match, leaving the Text Chat during the match (Character Select, Vs. Screen or during the intro) will mess up the synchronization and cause lag.

-Do not stream videos during the match (YouTube, Twitch.tv, etc.)

-Do not send messages (or go to the XMB) during the match (Character Select, Vs. Screen or during the intro) this will also mess up the synchronization.

Current Sign-ups:

1) <YOU MUST KNOW WHAT I AM etc>

PSN IDs: doctornk / emp_tri-force_gm

Back-up List:

Legend:

#) = Team name followed by PSN IDs.

*#) = Back-up, will become a main participant when someone doesn't show on tournament day. If signing up as a back-up before the initial 16 spots are filled then the * label will automatically be given. If you sign up after the initial 16 spots are filled, you are automatically assigned as a backup. Priority is determined by sign up order.

**Please continue to sign-up even if it is full, people may/will drop out.

And remember, you can still sign up alone, you'll be matched up with someone else randomly if you cannot fin a partner.**

ONLY ONE POST PER TEAM. POST NEEDS TO INCLUDE BOTH PLAYERS' INFORMATION. /USE THIS FORMAT/

Official Sign-up Format:

Your PSN ID:

Your Speedtest/Pingtest:

Your Location (State/Province/etc):

Your Time Zone:

If you're signing up with a partner;

Team Name:

Partner's PSN ID:

Partner's Speedtest/Pingtest:

Partner's Location (State/Province/etc):

Partner's Time Zone:

-Sign-ups begin immediately.

-Please continue to sign-up even if spots are filled because there is a good chance someone won't be able to play at the last minute.

-Please sign-up using this format, I don't want to look up your info, and I shouldn't have to.

-If you're listed as a replacement player, you should still expect to be playing in the tournament. This is so if I need you, you will be available (on time) and still be warming up as if you were playing in the tournament anyway.

-NO DROPPING MID-TOURNAMENT. If you drop DURING the tournament without a good reason then you will be banned from the next tournament.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. You can either PM me here on dustloop or message me on either PSN or Skype (doctornk on both).

Once again, READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY. If you ask me a question I've answered in here I'll probably just tell you to read this OP again.

Because we aren't idiots using the attachment system? The Ping and speed test hosts the images for you...

[floatwater]

Going by your pingtest, your net is messed up. You should try to fix it. Or your java isn't updated. And your jitter/ping are pretty high for that distance. I got 37ping/2 jitter to NY for the same distance, and my net is slow as hell.

You should look into it, unless you were using wireless or something...

[floatwater]

wireless, i would go wired buuuut since i still live with my family. . yep.

[Cirno]

Well, needless to say, we didn't make yesterday as the date for the tourney, due to a grand total of 2(3?) entrants. From what people have been telling me, it seems like the lack thereof is due to people being unsocialunable to find partners, so let's try this a different way.

I'll make the new date for the first monthly on the first Sunday of may, being May 5th. Until then, perhaps either Kurushii or I could host an open PSN room for unlimited chars every Sunday? Maybe! Also, I'll change the sign up method. Sign up alone if you don't have a partner, and you'll be matched up with someone else randomly. Sound good?
